How to… Pass link juice

The term, “passing link juice” refers to how much page rank is given to a page from your links, which increases its position in search engines.

In GoTryTHIS, you have two choices:

  • A 301 redirect tells the search engines that the redirect link (short link) is a permanent redirection to a destination link that has been moved permanently, and that the link juice should be passed through to the destination link.
  • A 302 redirect tells the search engines that the redirect link is temporary and that the link juice should be kept at the redirect link and not passed to the destination link.

To pass the most link juice to the site you are promoting, use keywords in your redirect link that you want the page to be ranked better on, and use a 301 redirect.

How do I change my password?

For enhanced security, we provide random passwords in version 2, not user-defined custom passwords.

To reset your shared password for my.gotrythis.com and billing.gotrythis.com, use the “forgot password” link at my.gotrythis.com.

To reset your password for your installed dashboard, login to the dashboard and go to the “Login” tab, in the lower right of the dashboard screen. (…)

How to… Redirect your home page

If you want to use GoTryTHIS to redirect your home page to another site, such as redirecting www.mysite.com to www.yoursite.com, you simply create a GoTryTHIS link like this:

Redirect: www.mysite.com/index.html
To URL: www.yoursite.com

Note: You will need to remove or rename the actual file, /index.html for this to work.

Graphs do not display.

In general, when one of the graphs is unable to be displayed, it is usually to do with security restrictions on your server, which prevent the graph from receiving it’s data. (…)
